Skydive for the Hospice
- Date: All year round
- Location: Your choice
Take on the adrenaline rush of a lifetime with a tandem Skydive from over 10,000ft!
Taking the plunge in a tandem skydive is one of the most exhilarating experiences you could ever ask for. Nothing quite compares to the adrenaline rush you’ll feel during this incredible experience, while also raising money for St. Michael’s Hospice.
The buzz felt can only be eclipsed by knowing how much of a difference your fundraising efforts are making. By supporting St. Michael’s Hospice with your skydive you are helping us to continue to provide our specialist care to local people faced with a life-limiting illness, their families and their carers, to ensure they attain the highest quality of life.
So, are you ready to take the leap of a lifetime?
Click here to book your place at your chosen airfield. When choosing a charity to support, make sure you click on ‘St. Michael’s Hospice (North Hampshire)’. Follow the steps to secure your place, the head to Just Giving to set up your sponsorship page and get fundraising!
Who pays for my Skydive?
You will need to pay a £70 deposit to Skyline Events to secure your Skydive place on the date and drop zone of your choosing.
You’ll have a minimum sponsorship target of £395* which will cover the remaining cost of your place, plus extra sponsorship to help support St. Michael’s Hospice. Once you have reached this then your £70 deposit will be re-funded to you.
If you’d prefer to pay for your event place in full then you can choose this option when you book your skydive place. Anything you choose to raise on top of this will come to the Hospice.
*Some airfields have different fundraising targets – please check the pricings and locations page here to check the target at your preferred drop zone.
How old do I need to be to take on a Skydive?
If you’re brave enough to take on a skydive and are over the age of 16, this is the challenge for you!
You need to be of a reasonable fitness level and under 16 stone to take part. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, please consult your doctor before booking your place.
(Under 18’s will need to be accompanied by an adult on the day and have parental consent to take part)
When can I do my Skydive?
You can pick any date that suits you!
Can I get my tandem skydive recorded?
Yes, of course! All participating airfields have the option for you to add your skydive being recorded to your package.
What support will I get?
You’ll get ongoing support from your own designated St. Michael’s Hospice Fundraising Co-ordinator and a t-shirt to show everyone you’re a Hospice Flyer!
On the day, you’ll receive training and a safety briefing from staff at the Army Parachuting Association and you’ll be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor who controls the free fall, parachute opening and landing.
